Its been official since early July that the
2010 Honda Accord Crosstour will arrive in showrooms this fall. But now
Honda is running a
teaser and countdown on its Future Cars site for the upcoming crossover/tourer previewing a September 1 'sneak preview' date, and it has also released a second teaser - a close crop of the headlight - via its Facebook page. The previous teaser showed part of the grille.
In July's brief press release,
Honda said the new vehicle will go on sale later this year. No other details were released, but
spy shots show the new crossover has much in common with that other Japanese sedan-wagon combo, the
2009 Toyota Venza.
The most likely powertrain options will be the current 2.4-liter four-cylinder and 3.5-liter V-6 engines from the Accord, although the 2.3-liter turbocharged unit from the
Acura RDX may also make a showing. A rear differential seen on prototypes confirm that the Crosstour will be equipped with an AWD system, at least as an option.
Unlike its
Acura cousin the ZDX, however, the Crosstour appears to be shunning the four-door 'activity coupe' profile for a more conventional 'tall wagon' look.
The new crossover will fit neatly in the
Honda lineup above the
CR-V and
Element, and beneath the big Pilot SUV. There's no word on pricing nor any official photos, but TheCarConnection will drive the new Crosstour later this year.
Below is the previous teaser....
